The 2019 GreenFleet Award winners have been announced
This year the government enshrined in law a target to be net zero-emission by 2050. This will filter down to different industries, and the transport and fleet sector will no doubt face further pressure to decarbonise fleet operations.
Thankfully there are many great examples of organisations that are successfully reducing their fleet’s impact on the environment, despite the challenges that exist. It was excellent to see so many of them recognised at the GreenFleet Awards.
Grocery delivery company Milk & More scooped the Outstanding Achievement Award for converting its entire fleet to electric vehicles, while online supermarket Ocado won Private Sector Fleet of the Year (medium to large) in recognition of its significant investment into its own CNG refuelling station, as well as working with electric and hydrogen-fuelled vehicles.
Standing out in a highly competitive category, Renault was given the title of Electric Vehicle Manufacturer of the Year for making electric mobility a realistic option for business users with its long range ZOE, as well as large and small electric vans.
Well done to all winning and commended organisations and individuals; they all deserve praise for their dedication to making fleet operations less harmful to the environment. Read about all the winners on page 17.
